Who do I need to contact to cancel winter? I'm sure someone around here has the phone number. Oh, what's that you say? I have to go in person to file a complaint? Well, I guess it won't happen today because winter has me stuck at home with the new layer of snow that was delivered last night.
Last week was kind of fun. We got about five inches at our house and I had fun riding to town with my brother to pick up Ma's medicines and grab bread. It was like the stories Bill used to tell me about the winters he experienced when he was a little kid out in western Kansas. The stories about how the highways got shut down because you couldn't see across the road let alone in front of your vehicle, how they put stranded motorists in the church for the duration of the winter storms. Best of all, classes were cancelled!
But now it's just ridiculous.
Five inches of snow with temperatures that had been staying around 9 degrees as a high meant that hardly any of the snow melted. A lot of the major roads in our area were still snow packed and slick. I think I might have seen a small patch of green grass the other day.
You know, before winter attacked again.
I know this is hardly like any of the winter storms we've had before but I've had my share of snow for the season. Let's get back to business as normal, yeah? That'd be great.
